Short description: This is the second premium DLC for Arma 3 featuring the highly detailed CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru, the DLC adds new helicopters, the Sling Loading showcase scenario, and helicopter Time Trial challenges.

Battlefield brings out DLCs for 40€ and you only get a new weapon and a new Map with bad spawnpoints! In CoD you get for 10€+ only one new Weapon skin!

BIS is bringing out 3 DLCs for 20€ and they're good! With new features (Enhanced Helicopter Movements and in the future enhanced Bulletdrop for Snipers with wind and weather etc) you will never get in Battlefield&Co. ArmA 3 is a realistic Game for Pro-Gamers and no bunnyhopping bullshit!

You guys who are crying are extremelly stupid. As DarkBaal said, you get lot of stuff for your money, compared to other games. Plus, this is ARMA3. You are allowed to use these choppers (get in as passenger) anyway, even if you do not have that DLC. They are not greedy, they just need more money to update their game, this is not giand like EA who has shitload of money, BIS is small studio.

Nobody forces you to buy this DLC and support BIS, you will be able to enjoy it's content anyway, for free.

Arma 3 Helicopters

by
Bohemia Interactive

Description:
This is the second premium DLC for Arma 3 featuring the highly detailed CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru, the DLC adds new helicopters, the Sling Loading showcase scenario, and helicopter Time Trial challenges (watch new trailer).

The CH-67 Huron is a twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Its primary role is the transportation of troops, vehicles and cargo – and is available in both an armed and transport variant. The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and a unique modular construction. Various mission pods enable the Taru to serve many different roles. It can transport cargo, troops, and provide battlefield supplies (ammunition, fuel, repair facilities, and medical equipment). Both helicopters are also capable of sling loading, which is a brand new feature in Arma 3 - and is further demonstrated in the premium Sling Loading showcase scenario. The Helicopters DLC also features four exclusive Time Trials, where helicopter pilots can show off their skills by winning the gold medal.

The Arma 3 Helicopters DLC is supported by a major Arma 3 platform update, which adds a wide variety of new content and features. The platform update is free to all owners of Arma 3.

Sling Loading feature and use your heavy transport helicopter to support NATO forces on Altis.

Installation:
At this point, the DLC can be purchased via the BI Store, through Steam, or directly from in game. Depending upon if you've purchased it or not, you'll encounter differences right from the main menu. To explain further, let's take a look at two cases:

The Owners:

You launch the game and see an icon at the bottom the main menu, indicating that the Helicopters DLC is installed and owned.

Clicking on the icon will open the Field Manual to the Helicopters DLC records.

The helicopter is available as you would expect in the editor, along with the official scenarios, and multiplayer - have fun!

The Non-Owners:

You launch the game and see an icon in the top left of the main menu, indicating that the Helicopters DLC is available.

You could purchase the DLC right there and then, but choose to continue to play on as normal.

The helicopter is available to try out in the editor, but the SP scenario is locked.

- You can use the helicopter with some restrictions (e.g. you can only board the helicopter as a passenger).

- The longer you actively use it, the more prominent the premium content notifications become.

Afterwards, you join a multiplayer server that uses the MP scenario (or any custom mission including the helicopter):

- You can join as normal.

Again, you experience the progressive DLC notifications and restrictions.

Since you've really enjoyed the helicopter so far(!), you decide to buy it in-game directly.
